the s in sam stands for silly

youtu.be/9BLrcsbIavM?... nearly forgot abt this one actually, a violin-led ost that perfectly captures the family kamehameha and the son family's victory against an overwhelming threat

agreed! imo dokkan in particular does a very good job using them to sell different feelings

the violins here are used very well to represent the tragedy and loss in gohan and piccolo's ost, or the triumph and victory in the dragon fist

youtu.be/hfBHBSd3Wx0?... the violins basically define this ost imo, they perfectly represent the tragic aspects of dbs broly and this moment, on top of just sounding really good

imagine having to live your life thinking you failed the ~milo waiter review~ i'd just. die

that poor echidna just can't seem to get a good spinoff can he

and even just gv going from 'i was forced to abandon everything and everyone, joule and i are now alone in the world' at the end of gv1 to 'aw geez i've got this wacky love triangle to deal with' in gv2, although tbf iirc it was a last minute choice to have him be playable in gv2 (2/2)

it's weird, they do reference some major endgame events like the ending of gv1 (which is a plot point in iX and is casually brought up by teseo in gv2) but then there's stuff like zeno and moniqa never appearing again after gv1, xiao and copen not appearing in gv3 (1/2)

i actually have a theory that some version of the no spoiler rule might exist in the gunvolt series, given some of the questionable writing choices in the sequels and the fact that we know inafune is involved with those games to some extent
